Description

What keeps a creative person going despite setbacks?

Dario Viegas is a photographer and filmmaker who is celebrated for his minimalist style and keen eye for composition, as well as his ability to connect art with storytelling. From a challenging upbringing in Portugal to then living in various places around the world, Dario discovered his passion for photography through a life-altering journey whilst traveling the world, where in each destination he kept refining his craft and building his portfolio. As he opens up about the pressures of viral success in my conversation with him, Dario underscores the importance of staying true to one's passions against fleeting trends.

In this conversation:

• How Dario's journey into creativity began.
• The impact of his upbringing and early struggles on his artistic perspective.
• His breakthrough moment with photography during his time traveling the world.
• The pivotal role of social media in building his career and lessons learned about trends and authenticity.
